E is for Erinaceous



Welcome to the second week of A to Z!  Today I have a silly little poem for you.  For some reason, today's word just begged for some poetic expression.

Today's word: ERINACEOUS

The word erinaceous means this: of, or resembling a hedgehog.

Once I stumbled across that word, I couldn't resist!  Enjoy!


Erinaceous

She walked into the room,
alluring and vivacious.
A drink in hand, she milled about,
and her laugh was contagious.
She drew near, and I froze.
Never been the most loquacious.
I feel silly now that I was flattered
when she called me erinaceous.

  2. That was so fun! And a new word for me - thanks. I think Erin Aceous would make a good name for an MG crime-solving heroine. Possibly one with spiky hair.
